Seats are filling up fast for the Ultimate Lyric Workshop at UCLA!
If you've ever wondered if your lyrics were "up to snuff," come on down to the "Ultimate Lyric Workshop" at UCLA on October 9th and 10th. It's going to be two full days of consonant crunching, theme thrashing, and melody mashing. Bring a hammer, nails, lyric sheets, and a song that you're working on. (Just kidding about the hammer and nails part, folks!) We're going to shred your song on Saturday, give you LOTS of painful homework and soul-searching, and then straighten you out on Sunday. Includes free lollipop. Doesn't that sound like fun?

From TAXI CEO, Michael Laskow:
I've personally gone to (and been a panelist at) this event every year since its inception, and give it two thumbs up. It's small and intimate. It's held in a beautiful part of Colorado (what part of that state isn't ;-) It's a great place to meet industry A&R peeps, Publishing Peeps, and some top notch songwriters. And if that's not enough, at the end of the weekend, Kenny Loggins, Leroy Parnell, Tia Sillers, Mark Selby, Jeffrey Steele, Al Anderson, and Lisa Loeb are scheduled to perform. The Expo is actually being held in Telluride this year, so it sounds more exciting than ever. I hope to see you there.

"The Road Rally was by far one of the most interesting, informative and entertaining events I've ever attended for business or personal reasons."

"TAXI not only helps me craft better songs, but it hones my people and business skills, as well. And that's worth a lot more than the price of admission."
